Chapter 862: Chapter 780: You Can’t Even Break Through My Defense
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…
In the depths of the wilderness, the storm of the Magical Sword continued to pour down, relentlessly shattering everything on the ground, causing the land to crack and collapse, instantly turning into ruins.
Such might was more terrifying than the highest-level Destruction Magic cast by a Great Legendary Mage, turning everything within a radius of several kilometers into rubble and debris.
“Roar!”
“Howl!”
Many demons active in the vicinity were unfortunately caught in this catastrophe, either fleeing in panic amidst their wails or being completely obliterated by the falling rain of the Magical Sword, leaving a bloody mess on the ground.
Even a nearby forest had a section brutally sliced away, flattened completely, the beautiful scenery gone.
In such a disaster, even a top-tier legendary powerhouse, without extraordinary means of protection, could only meet their end here.
Gray had thought, using this move, even if he couldn’t do much to Shane, he could at least leave him severely wounded.
Alas…
“Is that all?”
In the storm of the Magical Sword, Shane stood there straight, allowing the continuous collapse and destruction around him, the descending swords mighty in power, yet he withstood them like an invincible War God.
He was completely unharmed.
“What…!?”
Gray’s pupils contracted.
But Shane regarded the destructive power of the Magical Sword as nothing, laughing undecidedly he said.
“Seems like you can’t even break my defense.”
With that, Shane shook off Gray’s hand, which was grabbing his foot, and firmly planted his sole onto Gray’s chest.
“Bang!”
Once again, Gray was kicked flying, even crashing into a descending sword, causing that sword to explode on the spot.
Thus, Gray’s figure was completely enveloped by the rising smoke and dust, his fate unknown.
The rain of magical swords continuously descending from the sky also ceased and dissipated.
Shane dusted off the grime clinging to him, looking so relaxed and at ease.
If a third party were present to witness this scene, they would certainly feel pity for Gray.
Because, Shane’s demeanor indicated he hadn’t even taken things seriously.
Not to mention the proud Holy Sword and the power of [Reincarnation Destiny], even Shane’s regular combat power hadn’t been fully exerted.
Yet even so, Gray fell to such a state.
“Cough cough…”
Amidst the coughing, Gray, with his clothes stained in blood, pushed away the rubble covering him, kneeled on one knee on the ground, and looked at Shane with disbelief in his eyes.
“How…how can you be so strong?”
Gray couldn’t believe that with his own strength, he couldn’t even shake Shane a little.
Just like Shane said, Gray couldn’t even break through Shane’s defense.
This result was undoubtedly a significant blow to Gray’s confidence.
But how could he have known?
“When I was not even Level 30, I could defeat Beddo, the leader of the [Slaughterer Faction]. When I was just Level 55, I could fight a legendary powerhouse. By the time I entered the Inner Sanctum and gained insight and organized my skills into a system, reaching Level Seventy-seven, I could even defeat the strongest of the Human Race, Aridia, and stood a fair chance even against Limit Level powerhouses.”
For the first time, Shane recounted his own legend in front of others.
“Now, having reached the Life Limit, my strength has increased significantly compared to when I defeated Aridia. Even without the Holy Sword, what can you do to me?”
Over the past half month, Shane had already sorted out his strength and roughly understood his current realm.
Having already reached the Limit Level, even without using the Holy Sword and the power of [Reincarnation Destiny], he could achieve the realm of a Half-step Transcendent just like when he used the doubled effect of [Reincarnation Destiny] before.
Under such circumstances, Shane, even in his regular state, could easily overpower Limit Level powerhouses and make top-notch legendary figures look like nothing more than jesters.
And if he uses the Holy Sword, he’ll directly step into the Transcend Level, able to contend with beings like the Life Goddess and the Nature Goddess.
This doesn’t even account for the restraint effect brought to Shane by the [Supreme God’s Blessing].
The Supreme God’s Blessing can ensure that Shane is completely unimpeded by the Authority of the Divine Race, so much so that not even the Authority of the Life Goddess, Nature Goddess, or even the Goddess of Fate can have a direct effect on him.
With the effect of the Blessing, even without using the Holy Sword, it’s likely Shane could spar with the Life Goddess and Nature Goddess a bit.
Once he uses the Holy Sword, and even the power of [Reincarnation Destiny], Shane believes that now he can even contend with the Goddess of Fate.
Thus, after some consideration, Shane believes his current strength can be roughly divided into three stages.
The first stage is the regular state, Half-step Transcendent Level, capable of overwhelming Limit Level powerhouses. Unless the opponent has exceptionally strong or unique skills, like Parren’s [Crimson Sun Hell] or Hette Yada’s [Ice Luo Qianliu], which are so powerful that Shane finds them concerning, otherwise ordinary Limit Level powerhouses can’t be a match for him.
The second stage is using the Holy Sword, possessing full Transcend Level combat power. With the help of the [Supreme God’s Blessing], he could even steadily defeat beings at the level of the Life Goddess and Nature Goddess. Even if the opponent is a demon, with the Holy Sword’s restraint on the Demon Clan, it’s not impossible to battle. Only Sera, who has triggered [Moonlight Pilgrimage], and Chafne with [Ripple Heart Demon], make Shane in this stage feel difficult to overcome.
The third stage is to use all means, wield the Holy Sword to defend against enemies, with the tenfold amplification of the Reincarnation Destiny, fighting with everything one has.
At this stage, Shane might be no less powerful than strong individuals at the Demon Level, with the Holy Sword overpowering demons above, and the Blessing suppressing goddesses below, even if the opponent is Sera, who has activated the Moonlight Pilgrimage, Shane has the confidence to fight to the end with her, and he can also battle even the Goddess of Fate, regarded as the strongest in the Three Realms.
Given this, although Shane has not yet stepped into Transcendence, he already has preliminary invincible qualifications in Omni Potanssen.
Although the Reincarnation Destiny has a time limit and is extremely consuming, at least, he can fear no opponents.
Moreover, even if there is some apprehension in using the Reincarnation Destiny, which makes Shane unable to unleash the third stage’s power recklessly, the use of the Holy Sword has no side effects.
That is to say, Shane can unleash his second stage power anytime, anywhere.
And even just at the second stage, Shane has the combat power of a Demon Level. Unless the Moonlight Pilgrimage’s power is activated, or facing Sera, whose strength is comparable to the Goddess of Fate, or Chafne, who can utilize the abilities of the Ripple Heart Demon to directly affect Shane, Shane no longer needs to fear the power of the Demon Level.
Naturally, for such a Shane, Gray is nothing more than a minor character.
Even without using the Holy Sword, possessing half-step transcendence level power now, Shane does not need to fear a former prince who hasn’t even reached the Limit Level.
“If you really want to be my opponent, then use your Unique Skill.”
Shane declared bluntly.
“If your Unique Skill is powerful enough and unique enough, maybe it will make me draw my sword.”
That’s how it is.
Without reaching the Transcend Level, wanting to pose a threat to Shane would require relying solely on the power of a Unique Skill.
Other than Unique Skills that can exhibit abilities beyond the ordinary, without reaching the Transcend Level, existing beyond the norm is simply unqualified to be Shane’s opponent.
“You better not tell me you haven’t even awakened a Unique Skill?” Shane said with a half-smile: “That would be very disappointing.”
For the self-righteous Gray, Shane’s words held no trace of respect, only ruthlessness and even more ruthlessness.
Gray naturally could not endure such disdain.
“I don’t believe that an up-and-coming young hero like you has already reached the Limit Level!”
Gray gritted his teeth and stood up.
“Even if you are a Hero, today, I will humble your pride!”
As he spoke, the surging Magic Power on Gray’s body ignited.
Immediately after, an invisible domain seemed to expand from Gray’s body, enveloping the entire space within a kilometer with astonishing speed.
“What is this…?”
Shane’s heart moved, fully expanding the Perception of the Outer Destiny.
Upon unfolding it, Shane was surprised.
Because, in his perception, one hostile reaction after another began to appear.
Shane immediately had an intuition and instantly moved away from the original place.
Upon leaving, an unimaginable sight unfolded.
“Roar!”
In the beast-like roar, an invisible large mouth seemed to suddenly appear at the place Shane was a second ago, biting fiercely there as if taking a chunk out of the ground.
Shane flickered out a short distance away, observing this sight, and before he had time to react, he once again perceived hostile reactions, making him instantly move away again.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
The beastly roar appeared without any warning, making the entire region seem like it was being bitten by several invisible beasts, the ground instantly gnawed piece by piece.
Shane directly flickered in the air, watching this scene, seemingly understanding something.
“Beast of No Face…”
Shane’s murmur brought a response from Gray.
“Merely invisible attacks embodied with the concept of ‘beast’.”
Gray pulled some vials and bottles from somewhere, speaking to Shane while treating his wounds.
“Able to execute invisible attacks, making attacks appear in the form of ‘Beast Attack’, assaulting everything within my sight domain.”
“This is my Unique Skill — Beast of No Face.”
Saying so, Gray gazed at Shane.
“Under this capability, as long as you are within the domain of my sight, you’re utterly trapped.”
With those words, it felt as though countless ferocious beasts appeared around Shane, accompanied by a series of beastly roars, encircling him.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
In the next moment, countless invisible fangs bit towards Shane, landing on his body.
